52 #1
This volume collects the first half of the weekly 52 series, which chronicles a year in the DC Universe without Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman following the events of Infinite Crisis. Focusing on lesser-known heroes and supporting characters, it follows their struggles and adventures as they fill the void left by the world's greatest champions. Written by Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid, this New Edition features updated coloring and restored content.
"Golden Lads & Lasses Must..." kicks off the landmark 52 series with a pulse-pounding launch, weaving together the fractured lives of heroes and anti-heroes in the wake of the Infinite Crisis. Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid team up with Keith Giffen and Joe Bennett to chart the first seven days of a new era, as Ralph Dibny faces ruin, Renée Montoya grapples with her past, and Black Adam rises in his domain—while a cryptic message, a missing scientist, and a haunting memorial hint at deeper forces at play. J. G. Jones' striking cover captures the series' urgent tone, setting the stage for a year-long journey across the DC Universe.
